along with good information, hope we get some updated TR propaganda posters, wallpapers and such.

Yay! Higby tweeted that there will be screenies! ^^

First look at some new TR weapon models? An ingame model of a TR MAX? An in game model of that TR armor he teased us with earlier? A Planetside 2 version of the Prowler in all of it's glory?

Why am I getting so excited for info on the TR? I really must be hyped for this game.

The dude is coming off a long weekend of much Mai Tais, hawaiian beaches, sex, and maui wowie. He's probably so chilled out that he'll let slip the projected release date.

I'll admit it i'm most interested in the TR's vehicles, they really fit my style. I'd probably be Red and Black admittedly if the best outfits weren't all Purple and Teal.

And I don't know what you guys are talking about I think the old Prowler looked pretty awesome, and it had 3 gunners and two cannons, can't beat that man.

Perhaps it shall look like a C&C Mammoth Tank?

Just remember at the end of the day the Vanu are going to look way more amazing again.... Even though they'll be rubbish. XD

Ancient Vanu tactic. Fight with gimped weapons to lull the enemy into a false sense of security, then dazzle them with your stylish aesthetics and superior tactical and strategic prowess.

I don't really have a problem with the Prowler from PS1, but the detail work on the new Magrider and what we've seen of the Planetside Next version the the Vanguard is really making me excited to see a higher definition version of the Prowler.

I hope there is a modification that gives it four cannons instead of two, even if they are only 75mm or whatever. I just think that would look pretty awesome, while fitting in with the whole "more is better" high rate of fire philosophy.

Should be interesting to see what they do with the Prowler. Poor thing was tolerable but it really did look strange.

That reminds me an awful lot of- this Eddie Izzard sketch

In more topic-related typing, will be interesting to see what they let us have a look at - will probably give us an idea of what'll be coming our way in the next few weeks I guess.

It was a majestic elephant that romped across the battlefield.

I hate this totally random release schedule

Lunarchild · 2011-10-25, 05:16 PM

At least this week they'll be answering questions again, instead of asking them

Also, screenshots! Wonderful, delicious screenshots! Bucket loads of pixels to pour over and over analyze for the next two weeks while we wait for the next bits of information.

I can understand them wanting to do the back story week relatively early, since they seem to be planning to release ongoing bits of story leading up to the release of the game.

Still, I'm glad that's out of the way so that we can keep getting the story elements in addition to, not instead, of gameplay information.
